[QUOTE="EfremWinters84, post: 1263363, member: 571750"] Just finished watching on TiVo. Not planning to read through all of the comments on here, so at the risk of being redundant, here are my quick observations: - terrific game! We actually had 5 "basketball athletes" on the floor essentially the entire game. And finally --- a level of talent I haven't seen on display since our last NCAA tournament team with Brandon and DJ Richardson. -- TJL is a true point guard. Love it! He is athletic and he takes it into the lane with purpose. And what a superb passer! I'm willing to give up the hope that he'll knock down 3's, but the value he adds to team chemistry and fluidity is outstanding. -- As did most of you, I identified the Thorne/Tate shortcomings two months ago. I see a role for both, but it might be in the vicinity of 3-5 minute per game going forward. -- I totally missed on Kipper. I had seen no prior video on the kid, but was not impressed in the 1 minute I saw him get in his first game. Totally shocked by his performance! That type of role can add significant value for this team. He looks to be a great swing man, and hustler. -- The team was really hustling on defense tonight. I can't tell how effective we'll be in the next few games, but I loved the effort. They were truly working at it. [/QUOTE]
